My boy is shedding his torso and it’s bath time should I wait until he is done? I have read conflicting stories. Help
They are dry-shedders. Let him do his thing.

I used to feel sad that my guy was uncomfortable shedding, and put him in a bath. I was probably inadvertently prolonging the shed.

These guys are pretty stellar when they need to shed. That being said, some bumpy, not too sharp surfaces are helpful.

I have a camera in my viv, and I see my guy rubbing his face and body on his basking surfaces during shed, and he has done great.

So should I not mist him either

I wouldn't. Just keep an eye on him, and you will be amazed that his shed starts to split, and sometimes looks like wings. Your guy will be okay.

Please post some pics of the shed!

My daughter saved my guy's hand shed (looks like a glove) and put it in a resin Keychain for me for my bday. The way they shed, is crazy.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
